Script Work

Hi Guys,

We've finally made our script for our News Channel Package! We used Microsoft Word where we created a template for our sequence of which has 3 collums. 1 for what is happening within the scene, another of the timing and another stating what will be said within the scene by the 'News Reporter'. We stuck to the criteria of how a script should be presented using the font 'Courier New' in size 12.

We have uploaded our script onto this blog post to show you how far we have come in such little time, here it is! :)

Here is a quick picture of Natalie recording herself on the Mac Book seeing how long it takes to say each part of the script!

VISIUALS	TIMING	SCRIPT
Emma Porter (reporter) walking towards camera. Location: Mill Hill Park.	10 seconds	In the media over the past year there have been over 6,000 reports on dogs such as the Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Pit-bull’s and so on attacking young children and members of the public.
Footage of people owning Staffordshire Bull Terriers and them behaving nicely. Footage of young children interacting with these dogs. Location: Everywhere i.e. People houses, gardens etc.	20 seconds	It is our aim to educate you further on this topic that dogs such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweiler’s and so on are actually beautiful 4 legged friends. The true side of a dog is shown through the upbringing, how they are treated although it is also thoroughly understood certain breeds do have different characteristics such as the Jack Russell’s being known as an ankle biters.
Images and Screenshots of previous news stories regarding these types of dogs being vicious i.e. attacking people etc. Location: Nowhere, screenshots from various news websites such as ITV, BBC and so on.	17 seconds	The media portrays these dogs in a certain way which makes them come across as just vicious and that apparently there is no good side to them, hence for the drastic increase of these dogs being in animal shelters such as the RSPCA, Battersea Dogs and many more.
Vox Pop, members of the public expressing their opinions of ‘dangerous dogs’. Location: Park, Mill Hill Broadway etc.	8 seconds	We asked the members of the public about their personal opinions on these dogs and how they personally thought they were portrayed …
Footage of animal shelters such as the RSPCA and Battersea Dogs showing dogs jumping onto the cages showing increase of the amount of dogs coming in. Footage of shelter workers expressing their feelings on these types of dogs and also what is being done to support them i.e. charities. Location: Various animal shelters.	16 seconds	There are many animal Charities and Welfares that are attempting to help certain types of dogs which are said to be vicious. They help these dogs in order to give them a healthy upbringing instead of being used as a ‘fashion item’ which many dog owners seem to do.
Images and screenshots of various statistics of which will be in a voice over. They will be displayed on a specific background and statistics will be based around what different Charities are doing such as ‘Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare’ and so on. Location: Nowhere.	23 seconds	‘Staffordshire Bull Terrier Welfare’ protects staffs by getting members of the public to donate money so these dogs lead a long, healthy life where they are loved. The RSPCA animal shelter also encourages many people to adopt Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Rottweiler’s, and Dobermans and so on because realistically they’re gentle giants. It is also believed if these dogs are in the right hands they will make excellent pets!

Here's our script guys!

Thanks!
